Hi!

I'm Duncan and I'm from West London.

I work as a musician, so my days tend to be varied. Some days I'll be writing a song with someone else, recording a band in my cosy studio or playing a concert in the evening- sometimes a mix of all 3. I write and perform my own material (which I can happily show you!) too. Apart from music I'm a massive film fan, mostly modern cinema. I love food and trying new cuisines. Most international food is available in London but nothing beats authentic cooking... I love meeting new people and sharing ideas over a cold beer. I'm always up for a laugh and trying new things!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm doing a round-the-world trip from March 2017 to July 2017 and would love to meet some locals wherever I go to get a real idea of what life is like. This will be my first big solo travelling experience so I figured this would be a great way to meet new people and stay somewhere safe.

Hosting is a really rewarding experience and take great pride in London. The big tourist spots and hidden gems never get boring and sharing tips is my favourite part of it all.
